[Pokemon Crystal: Vs. Suicune]

Offbeat?

This song was largely excellent except for the offbeat drums in the last part. Nice work!

[Memories of the Flower Garden]

Beautiful

A stunning work of art. A beautiful melody, innovative instrument usage, superb design, excellent execution. I don't think this song could better convey its purpose then it does now. The song would benefit from an alternate theme in the middle, however, as right now it is just an intro and a single idea. A teensy bit more percussion or background strings/instruments would probably give the song a bit of a fuller tone, as well.

Instant hook

The melody on this song caught my ear instantly. Unfortunately it *is* highly repetative, and some of the percussion sounds downright bad, which is a shame, because its an awesome song idea. I think with a little more refinement and variation this could be a serious kickass song.

7/10
3/5

[Sleepless Thoughts]

Catchy idea

The drums could use some panning, and a bit more stereo in general would be good, plus a shorter intro, but otherwise its rather catchy. Nice work.

[(ID Rev) - Night Walk (Sample)]

Sweet

Awesome track, I wish I could hear the full version. A little more rhythmic variation might add a little bit to this song though.

Thanks for the review!

Variation

Without way more variation in this song, it is flat out boring to listen to. A more attractive melody line would probably help too.

spamwangler responds:

yay! first bad review

must try harder.

[Interlude Backwards]

Now this sounds cool

This sounds really cool considering it was just a reverse. I'm surprised the melody lines up so well.

8/10
5/5 - for awesomeness :D

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks. Some parts of this kind of sound the same as played forwards.

[Garden Of Eden]

Impressive

I liked the melody in this loop a lot, however there are compression issues, and the loop lacks variation. While it is a loop, a loop should be entertaining to listen to for long periods of time, and this requires a lot of variation, perhaps even a seperate idea.

8/10
5/5 - Because everyone zero-bombs this genre :(

Jephz responds:

thanks i'll keep that in mind the next i make a loop

[*DJ-P* My Happiness]

Ow...

I don't necessarily want to sound harsh... but this was not very good.

- No panning
- No transitions
- No variation in the bassline
- Bad instruments
- No mastering
- (almost) no compression
- Completely lacks any sort of melody.

3/10
